    By way of background, our Scout Troop's favorite recipe for outings has been Lake Conway Chicken. It's kinda of a tradition. Plus it is an easy way to package dinner by buying bulk and having them "scooped each ingredient into a freezer bag.

    Our problem is they don't make Cream of Chicken "Cup-of-Soup". We tried using a couple of tsp of chicken boullon, but wasn't quite the same.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks,

    LAKE CONWAY CHICKEN
    3/4 cup instant rice (white or brown, whatever you prefer)
    1/8 cup slivered almonds
    1 Tbsp. onion flakes
    1/4 tsp salt
    1 package Lipton Cup a Soup – Cream of Chicken
    1 pouch Sweet Sue premium chicken breast-7 oz. (a can of chicken would work,
    but a pouch is lighter to carry, and we have to carry out all our trash, too)
    Optional Items:
    1/8 cup dried mushrooms
    1/2 Tbsp. dried green or red pepper flakes
    At home:
    Combine all ingredients except for chicken in a Ziploc Freezer Bag.
    At camp:
    Add 1 cup boiling water, wrap in foil, and let stand 10 minutes.
    Then add drained chicken. Ready to eat.

    Smart & Final has a box of instant Lipton Cream of Chicken "Cup a Soup." It's in a red box, about 20 to a box.

    I'm pretty sure our regular market has it as well, in packs of 4 or so.

    Thanks, I guess they still make it, The Walmart and other stores just don't carrying it in our area. Will see if I can get a local store manager to order us a case.
